One skill Caleb Williams showed in college is something coach Matt Eberflus calls very obvious in practice and the Bears are trying to help him hone this ability.
It's how he uses different arm angles well while throwing on the move, the quality many have found comparable to what Patrick Mahomes does.
No doubt most questions about Williams coming into the league were about his ability to stay in the pocket at 6-foot, 7/8 of an inch and see downfield. This doesn't really solve that problem but does let him find throwing lanes some passers might not be able to use.
"Yeah, that's by design," Eberflus said. "We do 7-on-7 so we understand conceptually what the concept is. You look at the contours of the coverage, be able to show him where the ball is supposed to go and coach him off of that.
